UK-based solo artist One Cure For Man, also known as James Parkinson, has gifted us with another incredible single. “Everything (Promise Me)” is a powerful, catchy, and toe tapping thrill ride from start to finish.

Discounting 2017’s Synthesis, which was a collection of existing tracks reworked to add orchestral and electronic elements and featured just two new songs, The Bitter Truth marks Evanescence’s first proper studio album in a decade.
